The pink taxi service in Yorkshire. UK
As someone who believes in equality for all, I recently came across the concept of "pink taxis" — a taxi service with female drivers exclusively for women and girls, aiming to provide a sense of safety. At first glance, this might seem like a good idea, especially in light of the unfortunate experiences some women have had with male drivers. But let's take a step back and think about what this really means.... Oh boy, where do I start with this one? So, there’s a new thing in town: pink taxis — taxis driven by women, for women. Why? Because, apparently, we’re all just waiting to hop into a stranger’s car and wonder, “Is this one of the good men, or the bad ones?” The idea behind this service is clear: women feel safer with female drivers because they may have had bad experiences with men. But here’s the kicker — they seem to have missed the point that fear doesn’t have a single gender. If a woman’s had a bad experience with a man, sure, she might feel more comfortable wit
